Allan's Wife

The third novel H. Rider Haggard's celebrated Allan Quatermain series, this book tells more stories of Quartermain's time in South Africa — presenting his observations about two dueling witch doctors, his father's death, and, eventually, the fate of his wife, Stella.

Excerpt:

For a moment I literally staggered beneath the terror of the shock. Then I roused myself from my despair. I bade the native run and alarm the people at the kraals, telling them to come armed, and bring me guns and ammunition. He went like the wind, and I turned to follow the spoor. For a few yards it was plain enough — Stella had been dragged along.
